I really enjoyed my stay at Velvet - it was only for one night mid-week during a business trip, but it made for a pleasant, relaxing and comfortable stay. This is a hotel with character - I personally love the way the rooms have been decorated and believe they have been to a very high standard. My room was just a standard king but was spacious, airy and had a giant bath tub that was a lovely surprise. Lots of nice little touches like slippers and gowns, lovely L'occitaine toiletries, welcome tray and hot drinks, well stocked mini bar. I didn't eat in the restaurant but it did look really nice and the menu quite varied - I also think the room service options were great too (particularly the idea of room service cocktails!). I stayed during the week, the rooms were very quiet - I didn't hear any noise from the street or other rooms. I quite liked the idea of the grab and go breakfast too on a weekday - I hate paying more for breakfast in a hotel and this way I could just pick what I wanted and either take it to my room or take it with me. I'd definitely recommend this as a change to the fairly personality free chain hotels.
